A 1.20x10^3 kilogram car is traveling east at 25 meters per second. the brakes are applied and the car is brought to rest in 5.00 seconds answer
What is the magnitude of the horizontal net force that is required to bring it to a halt in a distance of 50.0m

Respuesta :

Answer:

F =  7500 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car, m = 1200 Kg

initial speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

time in which car is at rest, t = 5 s

distance = 50 m

Force = ?

using equation of motion for the calculation of acceleration.

 v² = u² + 2 a s

 0² = 25² + 2 x a x 50

100 a = -625

  a = - 6.25 m/s²

negative sign shows deceleration of the car

now, force calculation

F = m  a

F = 1200 x 6.25

F =  7500 N

hence, net force is equal to F =  7500 N

The horizontal net force required to bring the car to a halt at a distance of 50 m is 7500 N.

Net Force

The net force is calculated by the vector sum of all the forces applied to an object.

Given that the mass m of the car is 1.20x10^3 kilogram and the initial speed u is 25 meters per second. The total distance d is 50 m. The final speed v of the car is 0 m/s.

The acceleration a can be calculated by the equation of motion.

[tex]v^2 = u^2 +2ad[/tex]

Substituting the values in the above equation.

[tex]0^2 = 25^2 +2\times a\times 50[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{-625 }{100}[/tex]

[tex]a = -6.25 \;\rm m/s^2[/tex]

The car has a deacceleration which is shown by the negative sign of the acceleration.

The net force on the car is given below.

[tex]F = m\times a[/tex]

[tex]F = 1.20\times 10^3 \times 6.25[/tex]

[tex]F = 7500\;\rm N[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the net force on the car is 7500 N.
